| Santa Fe, "City of the Holy Faith", has cast a spell over visitors for centuries. It is a magical land where the sun casts alluring shadows on mountains, desert and adobe and the scent of pinon lingers in the crisp air. It is a place that has long nurtured the artisans whose work is proudly displayed in the shops of the historic plaza district - and it is here the Inn of the Anasazi stands, offering accomodations as beautiful and unusual as its setting. Massive hand carved doors open into an elegant and comfortable microcosm of southwestern lifestyle. Sculptured stairways, t-shaped doors and sandstone walls create the feeling of entering a prehistoric ruin. Huge cactus in terra cotta pots stand sentry in public rooms and corridors. Textiles, paintings, carvings, and baskets from the Inn's collection represent artists of New Mexico's three cultures - Native American, Hispanic and Anglo. A stunning sandstone wall with a curtain of falling water spans the top two floors, humidifying the atmosphere and providing the soothing sound and movement of water. Rated among the top 25 in the nation by Conde Nast Traveller's Reader Poll, each room offers hand-crafted furnishings, four poster beds, gas lit kiva fireplaces, honor bar, coffee maker, VCR television, original Native American art work and hand woven rugs. Deluxe room also offers a combined sitting area, and cd stereo system. The Anasazi Restaurant is the only 4 star 4 diamond restaurant in New Mexico. Nouvelle south western food served in a rustic atmosphere, complete with south western wood floors and rough handpainted tables.
